?Chapter 984: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 981 Corpse Wolf Chapter 984: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 981 Corpse Wolf Several individuals proceeded down the eastern corridor, searching through each cave one by one.


    To prevent any accidents, the usual practice was for three people to explore the cave while the others kept watch over the corridor to prevent the Yin Zhi Horse from sneaking away.


    Before long, they arrived at the spot where the large man surnamed Yuan had found the Yin Zhi Horse-a rather small cave.


    This time, the woman in black and Bai Yaoyi stayed outside while Han Li and the elderly man went inside to investigate.


    Upon entering, they immediately noticed something unusual about the cave; not only was the yin wind very weak, but there was also a warm sensation.


    In addition to discovering some soft, sandy soil, they found a few rare Warm Jade Ore deposits piled in a corner of the cave.


    The air retained a faint fragrance that smelled somewhat like medicinal herbs, mixed with sandalwood, as if it were a blend of the two.


    Looking downward, they could clearly see a number of chaotic hoof-like footprints on the ground-seemingly shrunken several times over.


    “There’s no doubt, these are definitely the prints of the Yin Zhi Horse!” the old man surnamed Fu said excitedly, rubbing his hands together after circling the prints and sniffing the air.


    “Since Brother Fu confirms it, then there must be no mistake.


    Let’s follow the trail immediately.


    This passage isn’t very wide; it’s likely a branching path.


    We’ll pursue it gradually and surely corner the creature,” the large man surnamed Yuan added, his face flushed with anticipation.


    “Indeed, that makes sense.

    Let’s just-” Fu began to agree with a nod, but his words were cut short by a sudden rumble that echoed around them.


    Suddenly, all three of them staggered as the whole cave began to shake.


    Then waves of thunderous roars came from outside the cave, seeming very close.


    Startled, all three simultaneously shimmered with a radiant light and turned into three streaks of light, fleeing the area.


    In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the corridor, where the two women were staring ahead with shocked faces.


    There, a series of heavy footsteps could be heard, and whatever huge creature was making them caused the entire corridor to tremble with each step.


    The terrifying roars also came from that direction, clearly emanating from the same being.


    Exchanging glances, they did not need a reminder to draw their Daoist paper talismans, their expressions turning grave.


    While the others were still unable to see very far due to the black yin wind, Han Li’s pupils already shone with a blue light, allowing him to see a ghostly creature over a hundred yards away.


    He couldn’t help but gasp at the sight.


    It was a huge green-furred wolf.


    The wolf stood on all fours, three yards tall, with a head as big as a small house and eyes as red and bloody as huge wolves’, and its four paws were pitch-black and sharp, much like blades.


    But what truly shocked Han Li was that as the wolf let out its roars, green flames of corpse fire spewed intermittently from its mouth.


    Occasionally when these green fumes touched the ice walls, they would leave grooves of varying depths that shimmered with a melted appearance.


    “Corpse Wolf!”


    Han Li immediately recognized the name of the creature, but ordinary Corpse Wolves were just regular ghosts.


    Even if some were larger, they were never this exaggerated.


    This Corpse Wolf’s size was beyond anything recorded in the scrolls, and the aura it gave off was incomparable to that of a normal ghost.


    Just as Han Li was about to warn the other four, his gaze shifted and he caught sight of something half-hidden on the wolf’s head, prompting an exclamation of surprise.


    “This is…Lingzhi!”


    “What did you say, Brother Han?


    Did you say something?” the elderly Fu, with a puzzled look, asked, turning towards him.


    “There’s a powerful ghost creature ahead, and the Yin Zhi Horse seems to be with it,” Han Li replied succinctly.


    “Yin Zhi Horse?”


    Upon hearing this, the others immediately showed great delight.


    At that moment, the enormous silhouette of the wolf finally became faintly visible through the yin wind.


    Although the true form of the giant wolf was still unclear, the sight of such a massive figure made Fu and the large man shudder, and their smiles quickly faded.


    The woman in black’s expression darkened, and suddenly she flicked her fingers repeatedly, sending more than ten white orbs flying from her hands.


    Instead of aiming at the giant wolf, however, the orbs shot obliquely upwards and burst in mid-air.


    Dazzling white light illuminated a large area in front of them, casting the ferocious and fearsome features of the wolf into view for the rest,


    The expressions on the faces of all four changed instantly.


    They were all individuals with extraordinary experiences, and they could tell at a glance how formidable this wolf was.


    However, in that instant, they also simultaneously saw something white and fluffy perched on the Corpse Wolf’s head.


    Even though its lower half was completely hidden within the green fur, the visible part was clearly a tender white horse’s head with a pair of emerald green eyes staring intently at the group.


    This sight filled everyone with both shock and joy.


    “Everyone be careful; don’t let the Yin Zhi Horse take the chance to escape.


    This Corpse Wolf is likely a mutated blood ghost, which is somewhat tricky, but it is a cinch for the five of us Nascent Soul cultivators to take it down.


    Fellow Daoist Bai, just focus on capturing the Yin Zhi Horse,” the wealthy-looking elder reminded, then with a slap to his storage pouch, a chain-shaped treasure emitting a dark light shot out, coiling towards the giant wolf like a poisonous snake intending to ensnare it in a flash.


    The others also made their moves upon hearing this.


    The woman in black flicked her sleeve, and three Crimson Flying Swords shot out; the large man tapped his jade medallion, and suddenly several winged strange scorpions flew out, lunging forward; Han Li opened his mouth and gently blew, and numerous flying swords immediately shone brilliantly, turning into swathes of golden light sweeping across.


    At the same time, Bai Yaoyi flipped her hand, and a semi-transparent silk net appeared, which she gently shook.


    Glittering with cold light, the net turned into a fog as white as snow directly descending over the giant wolf’s head and the Yin Zhi Horse beneath it.


    Although it was the first time the five of them were working together, their combined might with treasures in hand was still awe-inspiring.


    The Yin Zhi Horse, seeming to possess some spiritual intelligence, was scared enough to press its body further down upon witnessing the attack, hiding firmly in the wolf’s fur, no longer daring to show itself.


    The Corpse Wolf, seeing so many attacks, flashed a wild light in its eyes and ceased its howling, then opened its gaping maw and spewed an endless stream of phosphorescent green fire, instantly transforming into a towering wave of green flames to meet the oncoming Daoist paper talismans.


    For a moment, green flames and treasure lights resonated in harmony, entwined with one another.


    Neither Han Li’s flying swords nor the other treasures could get close to the huge wolf, blocked by the Heavenwide Corpsefire, and the Purple Pattern Scorpions summoned from the jade medallion could not avoid in time, instantly consumed by the green flames, dissipating into green smoke.


    It seemed that the Corpsefire was particularly potent.


    The white silk net, which should have been used against the Yin Zhi Horse, was also lifted by the green flames, unable to descend.


    Seeing this, Bai Yaoyi couldn’t help but let out a cold huff.


    The Northern Night Little Polar Palace was originally situated in a land of ice and snow; this woman’s Spiritual Treasures and Cultivation Techniques were primarily of the Yin Ice attribute, naturally disregarding this mediocre Corpsefire.


    Before Han Li and the others could react, she pinched a magical gesture with both hands, scolding softly as a sudden thought flashed past her.


    A layer of frosty mist emerged from her body, from which an exceptionally dazzling brilliance shone forth, making her look ethereal and graceful like an ice maiden within, amidst the cold light.


    The temperature in the surrounding air plummeted in an instant, and while Han Li and the wealthy elder were barely affected, the woman in black and the large man couldn’t help but shiver from the sudden chill.


    The giant wolf seemed to sense the impending danger and took a deep breath before suddenly expelling even more Corpsefire from its mouth.


    Almost at the same time, Bai Yaoyi spit out the Ice Fan from within her body, which circled in the air before landing in her hand.


    Engulfed by the radiating cold light, she gently fanned it towards the Corpse Wolf.


    This time, the wind howling from the fan was not the yellow one seen by Han Li before, but a bone-chilling snow wind filled with countless ice crystals sweeping towards the other side.


    The mingling of green and white lights was dazzling, completely submerging the other treasures’ lights, and bursts of explosions continually rumbled from the collision of the two.


    The Corpsefire spewed by the giant wolf was indeed remarkably sharp, not faltering even when confronted by the ice attribute Divine Skills specifically designed to counter it.


    Seeing this, Bai Yaoyi’s face flushed with a hint of red, and she became severely irritated.


    With a slight flick of the Ice Fan, it suddenly grew in size, and naturally, the chilling wind spewing from the fan greatly increased in strength.


    At that moment, the elder and others, having tested the Corpse Wolf’s capabilities, were naturally not going to just watch Bai Yaoyi struggling alone against the creature.


    The elder pointed a finger at the chain he had previously cast, and suddenly a ‘pop’ resounded, and a black flame erupted along the chain.


    Then, with a shake of the chain, it turned into dozens of identical chains of fire, instantly forming an enormous net of fire above the giant wolf’s head, forcefully descending like an inescapable net.


    The woman in black was muttering to herself, and the three Crimson Flying Swords trembled sharply before suddenly merging into one, forming a massive sword a few meters long, slashing fiercely with an aura of sword Qi.


    The surname Yuan large man remained expressionless as he put away his jade medallion, and a blue gourd appeared in his hand.


    Out of it spewed a particularly dense purple mist, slowly drifting toward the opposition, its effects unknown.


    Han Li, seeing everyone else exerting their Divine Skills, raised his eyebrows slightly, and with an inconspicuous flick of his sleeve, a red streak flashed and disappeared from view.


    With so many attacks bearing down simultaneously, the giant wolf, despite having considerable Divine Skills, began to struggle.


    As the chains of fire and the Crimson Giant Sword joined the fray in the sky, the Corpsefire was quickly forced back bit by bit.


    The dense purple mist was also about to reach it.


    Although the giant wolf was not highly spiritually wise, its instinctive nature still allowed it to sense danger imminent, and its green glow flashed, with its form swiftly shrinking.


    Then, the thick fur on its back bristled all at once, and with a low growl, a dense barrage of green light was fired, covering all five of them within its range.


    This move was somewhat unexpected to the group, but they dared not underestimate it, deploying their Divine Skills to defend against these green lights while their offensive momentum temporarily slowed.


    But in this slight delay, the mutated Corpse Wolf suddenly turned around and bolted back the way it had come.


    This reaction left the elder and others somewhat taken aback.
